| [01:33:31] | Sabotender: | mack: what do you think about mythbuntu? |
| [01:34:36] | mack: | As a distro, it is dead and buried, but it lives on as an ubuntu PPA that is highly popular and works well. |
| [01:35:24] | Sabotender: | I am not making much progress settting this up. try to run the database creation script, I did nothing except starting miradb client, which then expelled numerous parents from bash |
| [01:37:58] | Sabotender: | Well. As long as I can use Cinnamon with Ubuntu... Im really disappointed. |
| [01:38:01] | mack: | Maybe my time-saving method I mentioned before would be up your alley. |
| [01:38:23] | mack: | Are you installing on a dedicated machine, or your daily desktop? |
| [01:38:23] | Sabotender: | ? |
| [01:39:59] | Sabotender: | goodness, did I miss something? I'm sorry, I've been going back-and-forth reading wiki, trying to perform configuration, et cetera |
| [01:40:16] | Sabotender: | dedicated machine 100% |
| [01:41:02] | mack: | what I mentioned before was, if it was a dedicated machine, that I'd install xubuntu, add the mythbuntu ppa, then sudo apt install mythtv. Done. |
| [01:41:11] | Sabotender: | Only else I wanted to do is watch youtube things on it |
| [01:42:13] | Sabotender: | you don't have to ask me twice. I'm downloading an image for that now, installing immediately. |
| [01:42:30] | Sabotender: | lol |
| [01:49:40] | mack: | sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythbuntu/34 and sudo apt update when you've got xubuntu like you want. |
| [01:49:54] | mack: | then you can install mythtv |

| [20:53:36] | Sabotender: | mack: You are a Genius! I was able to reach the mythtv setup from browser. |
| [20:54:08] | Sabotender: | I am afraid of fudging things, though 😛 |
| [20:54:27] | mack: | Not genius. Lazy. :) |
| [20:55:05] | Sabotender: | haha lazy is fine. so, do I just filled in general things in these fields? |
| [20:55:20] | mack: | actually, I'm not lazy ... it's just these days I just want more time to do things other than mess with installing software. |
| [20:56:12] | mack: | The description of the fields as you navigate in them is actually pretty good. |
| [20:56:23] | Sabotender: | for me, I was trying to be clever, when I ended up being foolish, in the end, because, this was so simple. Sorry did not try this last night. I had fallen asleep in my workshop |
| [20:58:03] | mack: | The wiki also walks through each page of the setup screens with some tips. https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Setup_General |
| [20:59:14] | Sabotender: | I am a bit scaryface to look at that again, but, with your encouragement, I will do that now. 😅 |
| [21:00:02] | mack: | That page is for the first page of setup. It seems there is no navigation at the bottom of the page to the next setup page, but there is a little box in the top right of the page with navigation. This is the second page. https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Setup_Capture_Cards |
| [21:01:18] | mack: | If there's something you don't know, or don't have set up yet, you can usually leave it at default or blank and go back and fill it in later. |
| [21:02:56] | Sabotender: | I want to get this up and going, because I am very nervous about configuring my new silicondust tuner |
| [21:03:16] | mack: | wow, reading through that wiki now. It's much nicer than when I set up mine years ago :) |
| [21:04:11] | Sabotender: | really? had it changed any since back then? |

| [21:33:19] | Sabotender: | You may laugh, but I am having a 'ball' going through these configuration steps 😀 |
| [21:53:49] | Sabotender: | What does it mean about maximum simultaneous jobs to run....what is a job? a recording? In Adjust this according to the power of this backend machine. What are the minimum recommended requirements per job for a machine? |
| [22:01:58] | Sabotender: | I am thinking it means how many multiple recordings that should be able to be ran at the same time, is that what it is? |
| [22:03:00] | Sabotender: | This homerun 4K from silicondust has, like, 4 embedded tuners inside, I hope that I would be able to utilise all that the hardware is able to use |
| [22:03:17] | Sabotender: | use/provide |

| [22:46:59] | Sabotender: | mack: apologies for pinging you at this time, I had been studying the interpretation of these configuration questions. What is meant to be an 'underpowered' systwm? can you give me a general processing system requirement, and/or reasonable threshold? |
